Alright well just before we begin and get stuck into the 'fun' bits let's just go over a couple of things:
Number 1: This is my first time hosting my own RP. I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give me however that being said I am a delicate flower so please be gentle with me. (:
Number 2: I will probably ask someone at some point to be a co-GM. I'm not really familiar enough with anyone on this site to have someone in mind so instead I'll just decide a bit later and PM you about it before making it public.
Number C: I'm not putting any kind of maturity limitation on this however any 'intimate' moments between two characters should be kept strictly to PMs. Other than that though go nuts with swearing, gore and other heinous acts. The more the merrier or something.
Number &: I don't think I will ever 'stop' recruiting for this RP. If it ever pops up again in the thread just poke it with a stick to make sure it is still conscious and if it is feel free to join right on up. I can keep a sort of summary going in the OOC so that new players can get acquainted with the world before jumping in.
Number ♣: I don't really have a posting system in mind. If the time seems right then just post even if you posted just before. It would nice though, as a courtesy, to only post at most three times a day so that for people in different time zones there isn't a whole bunch to catch up on.
Alright. That's that for now. Moving swiftly on...
Setting - The year is 2103 and the world is in ruins. Over the years technology has reached it's peak twice and each time it was marked and documented as a seperate era. The first Era came to an end in 2030 by a large scale war that sent humanity back into the dark ages. However this period was fairly short lived and thanks to the few bits of technology and literature humankind rose up anew and rebuilt great civilizations. For many years they prospered in peace however once again a war was started and this time it was worse than before. The entire surface of the planet was warped through the use of high-tech bombs and entire countries were obliterated in moments.The war finally ended, once again, in a stalemate once it became almost impossible to fight with the current resources. That marked the end of the second era in 2080. Jump forward twenty years, humanity has started picking itself up and dusting itself off. There are less resources than ever before and little hope of ever returning to it's once glorified state. With humanity crippled an extra-terrestrial force noticed a planet that was just ripe for the taking and began to send down troops to enforce their dominance over humanity. Now, in the present day,humanity is little more than a slave race. Whilst weaponry from the second era still exists there are only a few people with knowleddge to use and maintain them. Most of the 'simple' guns are still fairly common and accessible but the high-tech plasma weapons are almost never seen. Even if they were common though they wouldn't stand a chance against the weapons of the other beings. Despite their vast inferiority a small group of rebels have banded together to fight back with almost no chance. Almost.
Plot - Our characters make up a top-secret, elite branch of the rebel forces. They all excel in one aspect or another whether it be fighting or healing or even support. Some of them however are there because of far more special abilities. Due to large amount of radiation that floats around in the atmosphere a very small amount of people have gained powers due to the mutations of their DNA over the years. The powers can be anything that you like as long as it is 'fair.' You can have multiple lesser abilities or one, more powerful ability. Nothing too extreme though. I'll trust you to have an amount of restraint as far as that's concerned. XD It will start at our characters meeting at the training grounds for supposedly the first time. Whether or not they have met before is up to you and the other person. They were each approached by a member of the rebellion and given a letter that requested their presence. The leader of the rebellion has powers of his own that let him divine who is and isn't capable of being in the team so even if your character didn't know of his abilities they still would have been contacted.
Here is the CS:
Name:
Age: (Given that the world is all haywire any age is plausible.)
Gender:
Appearance: (A description and/or a pic will do)
Personality:
History:
Skills: (These are where you'll any normal skills that your character excels at. This is not a must but you do have to pick either this or powers)
Powers: ( This is where you write what special abilities your character got from mutation. This is not a must but you do have to pick either this or powers)

I would really like to play as the engineer if that spot is still available!
Is there still another spot available to join in?!
Quick question with regards to posting.
Do we have to post in like a certain order and have to wait for every else to post before we can post again or is there like a time limit between posts or is there nothing like that and I'm just getting carried away here?

Yahtzee stood motionless as things seemed to come to life from the small group of people and information flooded into his brain faster than he could comprehend it. It made his head spin."H-Hygorn?" He responded to one of the first thing's he had heard. "Wha-?" He didn't even get to finish the question before it was practically answered. "Gaurdian?" Everything just seemed to make him more confused and he swayed slightly. "I'm not a-" Once again he was cut off this time by the girl that had been introduced to him as Cora.
"Come sit with us..." The words sent and inexplicable feeling of dread and he glanced at the person, Will, that had originally spoken to him and he realized why. This was the first time he had heard the name Yahtzee being used since he had left the circus and the name was his whole sense of identity and felt like he had just given part of himself to strangers however, even though he wasn't sure why, he knew he could trust them. Yahtzee looked at Cora and noticed the mist that seemed to be coming off of her and he shivered for a moment before his face split into a large grin. "You guys are freaks." He said cheerfully before sitting down on the log where Cora had gestured.
"Yahtzee isn't your real name, is it? Where are you from?" She asked him and he was on the verge of answering when movement caught his eye and he saw something that made his mouth actually drop open.
"Is that... another dragon?" He said in excitement casting about. "I've never seen one other than Salamander." He jerked his thumb in the direction of the sleeping dragon by the fire. "That is when he decides to show up." He said loudly to Salamander who just gave an exaggerated huff of smoke and continued ignoring him as he watched the scene unfold with the other dragon. "Wow this is place is awesome..." He said grinning still. Suddenly he realized just how little he actually knew about what was going on and how little everyone knew of him and despite his so far warm welcome he wasn't going to push it by denying them answers. Above all he was an entertainer not a fighter and he set about entertaining.
"My real name is not Yahtzee however it is the one that is the most..." He searched for the right word. "Me." He finished lamely. "The name my parents gave me was Alex. Alex Stone but that was the only thing I ever got from them that I actually held onto. The name I treasure is Yahtzee and that was given to me by the circus." He smiled as he spoke remembering the happiest time of his life when he was performing. "I don't know if any of you ever went to see a circus in the last four years or so but if you have you may have heard of me. Not to brag or anything but," He puffed out his chest and flashed a cocky grin and looked for all the world like he was bragging. "I was sort of a big deal. A Fire Tamer if that helps." He sighed as he realized he might not have been as well known as he thought he was. "Salamander there is my travelling companion." He said suddenly switching tracks. "Lazy lizard that he is." He said. "Don't worry about him though. He will put up with anything as long as you don't wake him up and that in itself is nigh impossible. Check it." Yahtzee got to his feet and moved over to his pet and put his hands on his side and grunted in effort as he pushed and rolled the dragon onto his back. An eye blearly opened and examined the room before closing again as Salamander decided that this position was about as comfortable as any and just not worth waking up for. "See?" Yahtzee said as he sat back down. "That's all I have to say for myself. Now I have questions and I would be somewhat grateful to get answers here. First up, what the hell is a Guardian Of Nature? Also Hygorn? Also pretty much everything else you people mentioned? Where am I and who are you and can you all use fire or whatever it is you people do?" Even though he was being relatively serious, Yahtzee never lost his cheerful demeanor. "I mean I am no guardian or anything. Although I did was punch one of them... Maybe that was just a guard." He said frowning. "I think what I want to know the most though is..." His smile faded slightly from his mouth but never left his eyes. "What is this place? I could swear I have never been here before but it feels so... familiar." He said frowning. "Does that make sense? Am I just crazy or are we all on the same page here?"

Is there still time to join in with this? I'd really like to join if that's okay!
I would definitely be into doing something here! Maybe playing as Capricorn...
I'm really excited to start this as soon as possible! The sooner the better!
Yahtzee woke with a start. The previous night he had planned to head towards his old home city however darkness had fallen to quickly and he had had to make camp in an unknown location. Now that it was light he finally realized where he was and the reason he had been so abruptly woken up. He had fallen asleep in the middle of a miner camp somehow bypassing the security without even realizing it and it too was starting to wake up and get to work. Hopefully I can get out of here sharpish like. He thought to himself with a small smile at the strangeness of it all. As he got to his feet he moved over to Salamander and gently woke his friend who climbed up his body and clung to his back like an over heavy backpack before falling asleep again. "Lazy lizard." Yahtzee muttered playfully as he started trying to backtrack his steps and get out somehow. Last night's luck though had faded and he had barely taken a step before a loud voice behind sounded.
"Intruder! There's an Intruder in the camp!" A loud voice yelled.
"Oh crap." Yahtzee said as he spun around. "no no no no no no! sshhh! Quiet! I'm leaving! see?" Yahtzee said quickly as he started backing off however the man, Yahtzee assumed he was a guard, charged him and swung at him with his arm knocking Yahtzee over.
The motion had finally woken Salamander who alighted from his pack and circled the two quickly examining the grounds. The guard's attention snapped to the dragon and Yahtzee took this oppertunity to get into a crouching position and launch his fist at the guard followed by his entire body. His attack connected at the guards chin and with the amount of force behind it it was enough to knock over and daze him. "Come on Salamander!" Yahtzee yelled as he turned and sprinted towards the nearest gate. As he got there he saw two more guards and laughed. "You take the one on right!" He yelled up at Slamander before picking on an extra burst of speed and leaping at his target. In midair flames raced over Yahtzee almost like a complete suite of armor and his punch hit the guard with the force of a small explosion sending him crashing into a nearby pillar. Yahtzee tried not to think too hard about the man as he ran out of the mine, his fire dying down. In the meantime Salamander swooped down on the other man and unleashed a powerful jet of fire at him however the man escaped relatively unharmed and ran back to inside camp.
A minute or two of running had past before a growling wine sounded behind them. Yahtzee shot a look over his shoulder and groaned as he tried to push his tired muscles harder. Behind him was an all terrain buggy that was fast catching up to him. "What have you guys got against me?!" He yelled back to them. Suddenly he felt his body leave the ground and the wind rushing over his body as he soared through the air. Holy crap I'm flying! This is awesome! was his first thought followed closely by I may have just tripped. "Oh bugger." Was all he actually said before the ground rushed back up to him and he slammed into it once more. There was a rattling noise from the buggy and the ground around seemed to pop up puffs of dirt. Yahtzee rolled onto his back and looked at the machine. "They're shooting at me!" He said in disbelief as the opened fire once more. "Salamander!" He yelled to his companion who understood and swooped down to his aid. The dragon was small but big enough that it could, with some difficulty, carry Yahtzee on short flights if necessary. Salamander resumed his normal position as overweight backpack but this time with his wings flapping madly. It took a moment to get a rhythm going but soon Yahtzee saw the ground drop away once again. "Holy crap I'm flying! This is awesome!" He yelled out loud as they opened fire again. The bullets missed widely as his guardian easily dodged to the side of the attack as the soared towards a nearby mountain range.
It several hours later and Yahtzee felt completely lost. On the upside they had escaped the car but on the downside the little bit of food and water they had had reached it's end. Still something felt as though it was pulling at him and without fully understanding why Yahtzee continued walking with a healthy amount of stubborn determination. By now they were standing at the lower edge of the mountains they had just climbed over and it was fast becoming dark once more but the incessant pulling made stopping for a rest seem trivial. As Alex blindly walked forward he saw little of the small amount of ruined nature that by now surrounded him. Instead he focused on just moving forward.
"...form of heat right?..." Yahtzee heard the sound of voices somewhere fairly close by and he narrowed his eyes and dropped low as he tried to get closer.
As he managed to get close enough to see what was going on he saw flash of light followed by cursing. and he tried to piece together what had happened. In a small clearing stood several people around a pile of dried wood and from the pieces of conversation he had heard he guessed they wanted to have it a fire. He grinned to himself. Maybe he could do some actual good here and not get attacked. Starting fires had always been his area of expertise and he couldn't help but grin as he closed his eyes and focused his power before getting to his feet and releasing it from an outstretched hand. Fire exploded from his palm and landed on the ground in the form of one of the huge circus tigers he used to see often. The tiger made a silent roar before abruptly leaping at the pile of wood causing it to ignite in a cheery flame.
"So can I just start with 'Please don't attack me!' and we can take it from there?" Yahtzee asked as he somewhat nervously left his hiding spot. "I'm Yahtzee by the way and if by chance you do decide to attack me..." Yahtzee paused for a moment thinking. "I will run away. But if you catch me..." Yahtzee paused again. "I can cover myself in fire and I have a dragon protecting me." Right on cue Salamander climbed off of his back and crawled over to the fire before curling up and sleeping again. "Honestly how do you sleep that much!" He snapped him. "Alright but under that facade he is a true terror so... please don't attack me?"
"Intruder! There's an Intruder in the camp!" A loud voice yelled.
"Oh crap." Yahtzee said as he spun around. "no no no no no no! sshhh! Quiet! I'm leaving! see?" Yahtzee said quickly as he started backing off however the man, Yahtzee assumed he was a guard, charged him and swung at him with his arm knocking Yahtzee over.

I did have another idea about how he got his guardian so I'll edit the history and change that. Is it alright if the Fire Tamer at the circus gave him an egg that later hatched?
As for his fire shapes it's mostly animals and things he saw in the circus however it's also grand flashy spirals and balls and similar things that would entertain.
